芬恩：大家好，欢迎收看地道英语节目。我是芬恩。

Helen: Hello everyone. I'm Helen.
海伦：大家好，我是海伦。

Finn: Helen, you look a bit different today.

海伦：真的吗？我真是受宠若惊啊。我朋友邀请我去了小岛上一个极好的地方。

Finn: Oh wow, so you were away for the weekend?
芬恩：哦，哇，所以你上周末外出了？

Helen: Oh yes. It's the best holiday I've had in years.

Helen: Sun, sea, just beautiful and tranquil.
海伦：阳光，大海，美丽又宁静。
